Olivia Gallimore

Lake Macquarie NSW

Bachelor of Social Science / Bachelor of Laws (Honours)

For Olivia, her passion for international affairs is the driving force behind her career aspiration of working in the Sino-Australian space. As a combined Bachelor of Social Science/Bachelor of Laws (Honours) student, Olivia has actively worked to deepen cross-cultural relationships. During her time with the Global Office Speed Conversations program she helped international students improve their English. Through the University’s annual Model United National Conference, she collaborated with young people from Australia and abroad to promote a better understanding of global equality and justice. She has also worked with youth leaders in the Asia-Pacific to celebrate and preserve minority and indigenous cultures. She hopes that being part of the immersion program will deepen her understanding of challenges facing Australia and China so she can work to better the relationship for the benefit of both sides.
